Today was a travel day, We were flying from Chiang Mai to Phuket. Because our flight did not leave until early afternoon we were able to sleep in. We really did not do much, just got up and ate breakfast, then went back to our room to pack. then rested until time to leave for the airport. I had the hotel arrange for a taxi to pick us up. The flight to Phuket was uneventful.
I had arranged for a car to meet us at the airport and take us to our hotel. It is so nice getting off a plane and seeing someone holding a board with your name on it. The ride to the hotel takes about 40 minutes. It was raining when we arrived at the hotel. The hotel upgraded us to a Deluxe double room. It was a very large room with two double beds, a sofa, coffee table, desk, chair and balcony. The balcony was large also. The bathroom had a separate tub and shower.
It was a really bad thunderstorm so we did not leave the hotel. We were going to eat in the hotel’s italian restaurant, but you had to go outside and walk in the rain to get to it. So instead, we opted to eat at a different restaurant at the hotel.
Since it was pouring down rain, we stayed in at the hotel all night.
